Hiding your ref code links...

I've never really given much thought to cloaking my ref code links..I didn't figure I was "big fish" enough to fuck with...but I'm thinking of taking the steps now, before I get big enough that it will be a PITA to start, lol.

What do you guys use to hide your ref codes in your links?

Why bother? Even if you go out of your way to hide the link, it's not hard to figure out where it goes.

It's more for asthetics in my case....ref code links are ugly.

I was directing it for the webmaster point of view for getting clicks.

It definently helps to get surfer clicks by hiding it. If they mouse over the link that says click here for www(dot)whatever(dot)com and see a long ass shit-string of letters and numbers the will almost never click -

Make sure you sprinkle it around and test out before going crazy.

Sometimes an affilate program can't read it, thus not counting any clicks or sign ups.
